How can I send authentication token in header of a POST request from Django Template - django-templates

Question

I have an API call working fine on:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Token d070b44498fd12728d1e1cfbc9aa5f195600d21e" http://localhost:8000/api/subscribers/
It gives me the list of all subscribers. I want to create a Django template to send the request to subscribers. I am not able to send:
-H "Authorization: Token d070b44498fd12728d1e1cfbc9aa5f195600d21e"
from my template.

Answer 1

import requests
headers={'Content-Type':'application/json', 'Authorization':'Token d070b44498fd12728d1e1cfbc9aa5f195600d21e'}
r = requests.get('http://localhost:8000/api/subscribers/', headers=headers)

Why don't you use AJAX to send this? Call the JS function whenever you want to make the request.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
headers: {
'Token': 'your_token_here'
},
data: {
'body': 'value'
}
}).done(function (data) {
console.log("API call successfull : ", data);
});

Ajax is one of the simple ways to do an API call from django template.
See the example below.
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'http://localhost:8000/api/subscribers/',
headers: {'Authorization': 'Token d070b44498fd12728d1e1cfbc9aa5f195600d21e'},
success:function(response) {
// on success
},
error: function() {
// on error
}
});
In angularJs we can call API using $http. See the example below,
$http.get("http://localhost:8000/api/subscribers/",
{headers: {'Authorization': 'Token d070b44498fd12728d1e1cfbc9aa5f195600d21e',
'Content-Type':'application/json'}
}).then(function(response) {
// on success
},
function(data) {
// on error
});
